On another note, if you shouldn't tell people your Big Plan what reason do you give for not drinking?
I never hit 'rock bottom' so people are going to think it odd I won't even have a glass of wine or a beer. I've been to the pub three times this week and the not drinking is a piece of cake. In fact, I relish in what little Beast activity there is. So far I've played the health card but i can't use that reason forever.
